I also have a 17 inch. It's an Asus Fx753D but sometimes it's still too small... when I'm in office I have a 27" and that is good working... Already having a 20" would be a good upgrade... I don't mind the weight... also with the new tech in displays the bazels can be thin enough where it would be just a touch bigger then a 17... Plus if it's for professional use like CAD or programming like I do it doesn't need an SLI of 3090s and a 11900k overclocked in it... so it can be thin enough to not weigh like a small dog... I know a laptop with those specs above isn't realistic it's just an hyperbole XD

Hello community Honestly this is just a little ranty thing so feel free to ignore me XD I want to know something though. Where did laptops with large displays go???? I have horrible eye sight. I'm an automation engineer so I use the PC for a zilion hours a day and travel with it... a lot... I saw around 2007 there were gigantic displays on laptops! HP HDX18 had, as the name suggests, an 18 inch display on it HP HDX9000 and 9400 had a freaking 20.1 inch display on it!! Acer made an 18.something laptop too... Why nobody makes anything like that anymore... On ebay the only one I can find is the HDX9000 which goes for 500€ and has a core 2 duo and 8800gts it's insane!!

Oh yeah I know just never seen an actual number about it on what it's about... the name of the platform baffles me though XD

well it all depends on the price you got for the 2080ti at this point... the 3080 beats it but it is also a matter of what resolution and fps are you targetting... the 3080 is only really necessary for 1440p 144hz and up...

Just came across this on passmark site and yes I sometimes just go in there to appreciate how my laptop is getting slower and slower by the day XD Notice how there is only 1 baseline about it and it was delivered the 4th of september... on a Cloudripper platform of all things?? wtf is that even ?

I would guess that if I get it working I would then immediately make an image of the ssd as it is with the likes of Acronis or similar and have it stored somewhere as an emergency recovery...

Thanks for all the answers! so let's go one step at a time. 1. I have an official ISO of windows 7 enterprise 64 bit that I initially just mounted on a USB flash with rufus in UEFI mode and that booted at machine start but when it got to the 4 colored dots during install when it says "Starting Windows" it just locked up solid... 2. The ISO that I obtained from that image updater thing is the only one that would at least install the OS but at machine reboot it just sticks in the screen right after POST and the machine just appears to be dead... no activity anywhere what so ever... 3. It's mainly a test at this point. I will find drivers as I go... I have a driver disk for windows 10 that I saw some of the driver have win7 subfolders so I am just a bit hopeful. 4. I tried to manually follow a guide to push intel rst and usb3 drivers onto the ISO and a couple of bog standard updates and it produced an ISO that came to the same result as point 1... 5. The software is about 30GB multi install thing... it's very very very not user friendly... I managed once to install a part of it on win10 by hacking it with ResourceHacker and InstEdit by removing the checks for OS compatibility... the pack for who is interested is PCS7 v8.0 sp2... win 10 compatibility was added in version 9.0 which the customer doesn't want... 6. The customer wants the software to run bare metal because the Field PG from Siemens has a built in Communication Board for Profibus fieldbus that I'm not super sure will be passed through to a VM... 7. Unfortunatelly the M5 version of the machine also had windows 10 but I think it was downgradable but still it's not in production anymore... My last resort would be to try the install on different pc thing and swap drives back to the incriminated machine in hope that it works (inside the system is just a fujitsu board with a couple addons...) If that doesn't work I would have to figure out a way to debug why the system will not boot with the modified ISO of point 2... I assume some BCD error or whatever it's called... It's super confusing for me how it works but what can I do... Thanks again for any help :) Fabio

Good morning everyone, I have a giant issue in my hands... I'm currently providing on site support to a customer of ours and we provided the customer with an engineering station to program our PLCs on the go... Problem is that my boss didn't check compatibility of the system with Windows 7 which is the last supported OS by the customer's chosen version of programming environment. The laptop is a Siemens Field PG M6. It has 32GB of RAM and an i7-8850h. I'm desperately trying to get windows 7 to install on it but with no success... I have now an iso that I can boot and install from usb... after the install the os doesn't boot though... complete black screen like it doesn't know the boot partition or efi file to look for... boot manager says it has an efi windows loader and this ISO was made with a Windows 7 Image Updater that claims to use the windows 10 base installing environment to better support this technology... Problem that I seem to have mainly is that my bios does not allow to boot with legacy images... only straight efi is allowed... Do you know what could I do to circumvent this issue? I thought also I would try to pull the SSD from this laptop and put in mine and install everything from there in uefi mode using rufus but I'm not sure if even that can possibly work... I'm stuck... please help me.... That stupid tin can of a laptop is worth north of 6000€... can't exactly use it as a furniture piece XD Thanks a lot for stopping by and any suggestions are very welcome! Fabio

I think there shouldn't be any kind of problem... It's gonna be tricky and expensive though not that I expected anything less from a project of this caliber... The system would be as follows in my mind.. Gigabyte X399 designare EX 8x16GB ddr4 2666mhz ECC ram 128 total 6x nvidia quadro P4000 6x samsung enterprise SSD high TBW rating 2x 10tb ironwolf for work in progress projects By my calculations (roughly speaking) you'll need something in excess of 1150w for PSU... A 1300W or more would be a wise choice if you plan on overclocking a bit the 2990wx... not much but getting it like 200 or 300mhz higher would be a good thing for single threaded applications... Something like an evga 1600w would be great and give ample headroom plus they are extremely reliable and getting custom cables for it is a breeze...

Hi forum, I need a suggestion... What would you rather do? I have a 7990 quadfire setup so two cards in crossfire for four GPUs... waterblocks for them are 80€ each plus expedition from China comes to about 175€ for both blocks... There is a guy close to me here who sells a GTX 980 hydro copper from evga for 130€... What would you do? Keep the 7990s and cool them more and crank up the clocks? Switch to 980? I have a 360mm rad plus a 120 so cooling capacity should not be a problem... Thanks and any suggestion is well accepted

Hi @ThegodKing, First off what do you plan to use to virtualize the machines? Unraid or Vmware ESXi? Getting to main point... since you'll be using PCI-e gen3 I refer back to a couple tests that I saw on various review sites that essentially reported that jumping from 8x lanes to 16x has negligible impact at least in gaming tasks... I have to assume that your designers won't all be rendering a project all in the same second so I have to assume that GPU demand won't be as big during normal operation unless ofcourse you are dealing with gigantic monster models in which case maybe a little hiccup here and there may happen... What I may consider if I were you is probably change the motherboard with a Designare EX from gigabyte that offers one more PCI-e slot native and split off from one of those... from your request I imagine you are going to have 6 VMs maybe and probably with a quadro or firepro of some kind... in that case I may also consider watercooling as an option to quiet down the sistem not as much for temperature management... Waterblocks for pro cards are now available from all the major vendors also somephing like the GPX hybrid cooler from alphacool that relies on case airflow to cool other components on the GPU and the core itself is under a normal waterblock... cheaper then normal waterblocks but still a considerable upgrade over just air...

Good day forum! How are y'all doing? Ok I need an information... I have a computer now running on Windows 10 Pro but I want to use Windows Server 2019 Standard on it since a couple programs require features only available in said OS. My components are as follow: MOBO: Asus Z9PE-D16 CPUs: 2x E5-2690v2 20c/40t @3GHz RAM: 8x4GB DDR3 1600MHz ECC Graphics: 2x HD7990 Quadfire And on this last point I have a problem I remember trying to install a driver on windows server 2016 but it didn't work... do you think/know AMD has a driver for this config on windows server? I remember hearing that the Radeon Pro Software was going to work just fine... Do you guys have any ideas? Thanks a lot for the help... btw going on water soon... no overclocks just dead silence...

Seems pretty balanced to me! I would definitelly go for the 'K' sku as you said though... it's a safer bet because you can bank on overclocking to have it last a bit longer then the non K part... If you'll be going for the K also the cooler definitelly needs to be beefed up... the pro rock 4 from beQuiet! is great choice for a good balance of temperature headroom and silence if you care about it... some AIOs can improve temps but I only found that most of them are pretty noisy... Noctua stuff is also great but I for the money I would go beQuiet all day (I think it also looks better...) Sure that 240GB of primary storage is enough? Windows 10 install is already close to 20GB... add something like GTA5 that's another 60 and a few programs plus your editor of choice be it Edius or Premiere... You might be running a bit tight I think...

Hello people, I know it's a weird question and yes I know there's not much advantage in overclocking these but it's for pure entertainment I would like to know if it is possible to mod the bios of my motherboard in such a way to control bclk overclocking, I have an ASUS Z9PE-D16 motherboard that I bought on ebay as faulty for a steal and I would like to play with it a little... I have a couple of 2690V2s in it at the moment that run at 3GHz base on all 10c/20t each. I would like to push them a little because I saw people managing a pretty awesome 3.5/3.6 on these which is fantastic... now granted I don't need to go that high... Is it possible?? Is there someone in here with the required knowledge who could tell me how to do it? Thanks a lot and a good day to everybody!

I saw a program called DameWare in my work place that allowed you to save a list of all the computers you would like to RDP into and save credentials... I think there's like a small plugin to install on the machines you wanna connect that also does a little monitoring... Computer looks solid enough I would say... if you can squeeze in an ssd that would be great it just enhances the experience... any old 60gb sata one will do the trick...
